Tsunami just hitted Mexico and Hawai 2010

Don't know about this one, but as far as I know the last tsunami I've heard was in chile, the waves were 60m, and it was that big that even boats and containers in the seashore reached the middle of the city, just to give this thread some reality, this is a last event also, well you should have heard about the earthquake in chile of 8.X, and in japan 7.X...

And this is interesting, chile had an earthquake in 1960, 25 years after had other (1985), and 25 years after (2010), once again, got an earthquake, 2 days ago I think...

lmao two meters shouldn't be higher than you... thats like a normal wave... 2 kilometers sounds about right. They say it traveled like 700 miles and was going about 100mph underwater when it hit.

shouldve been a bit bigger
nz got small waves 1-2m, but it had to travel 9600 km to get here
 
a 2 meter high Tsunami wave is big enough to take down a small town. Don't underestimate the power and strength of that water. If you get taken, the chance of you braking your muscles is way higher than manage to swim there.

A 2 meters high Tsunami is just like a normal 2 meters wave.
It's just that Tsunamis can get way higher than normal waves, and they are created in a different way.

Your wrong
A tsunami is much stronger and faster then a normal wave.
 
Some people are saying 3 meters and some are saying 3 feet high, its a diffrence so i dont know... but still 2-3 meters high wave could take a big car several meters away so..

Very noob drawed, but you understand the point. A Tsunami wave is much more massive than a regular wave.

My family including me was in the Tsunami in an island outside India named Sri Lanka. (Close India).
I was pushed into a courner of a hotel room by the water, and had restaurant tables pushed on me.
And I was the lucky one, I managed to pull myself up the wall, get above water, and climb out a window.
My little sister, had to sew 10 stitches in her arm. (She got a big scar on her arm). She was bleeding, fainting, and at such an emergency, we didn't have the luxury to go to a hospital or get a properly doctor who had painkillers.

It doesn't particularly look like a wave, its like the water suddenly became meters higher, taking everything in its path.

Lesson1: Don't eat breakfast at the beach during Christmas time!
Lesson2: Avoid swimming or move to much in a water filled with sharp glass fragments from broken windows.
